The hourlong play “Los Pastores” (the Shepherds) is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Market Square’s Mariachi Plaza. The performance sung in Spanish has become a San Antonio tradition — having been performed at La Villita and on the River Walk in recent years — and depicts the journey of the shepherds of Bethlehem on their way to the baby Jesus. The play, which has Spanish origins, will be presented here by Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.
